Competition improves young bowlers skills

Jacob Silgero continues to improve his bowling skill and has another big series to show for it.

While competing in the Sundowner League, he bowled games of 255, 236 and 236 for a 726 series and earn the weekly high honors.

The young, right-handed bowler employs a thumbless release that creates a tremendous amount of revolutions to promote strike carry. The main drawback to this type of release is consistency, and Silgero seems to be getting better as he completes his second year of USBC competition.

He is scheduled to bowl in the Texas State USBC Open and the USBC Open Nationals in April and June, which will be a great opportunity to measure his progress away from home lane conditions.

Randy Vivero rolled the second high series with a 257 high game complementing his 697 total.
